About

Burruss Correctional Training Center in Forsyth is a medium-security “special-mission” prison that houses both adult and juvenile male offenders sentenced as adults. Opened in 1986, Burruss combines standard general-population housing with specialized units for youthful offenders. The facility emphasizes education and vocational training – including a charter high school, GED and adult basic education, and technical programs – and also supports outside details and industries alongside traditional security operations.
